19. Actually, nothing like the Boy Scouts.
The Boy Scouts are homophobic and forbid gay men from being scout leaders and also forbid atheists and agnostics from joining a troop.

The Girl Scouts are welcoming of all girls, with anti-discrimination policies protecting leaders' sexuality or religion. They did this in direct response to the Boy Scouts anti-gay stance.
